≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪

  • We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?

    After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.

    This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.

    Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.

Notoriety System

Notoriety System

This system tracks the fame and reputation of all characters within the world, on a scale of 1 to 10.

It reflects how well-known a character is and the perception factions have of them, both positive and negative.


Notoriety System Overview

  • During events, there will be critical moments where a character's decisions and background will have a significant impact on the story.
    • A character's actions in these moments will contribute to their notoriety, which reflects how well-known and infamous they are among NPCs and other players.

  • Some examples of such moments include:
    • Killing an important figure in front of a crowd.
    • Having rumors spread about a character that are perceived as a fact in the public eye.
    • Possessing fame as a well-known, public figure.
    • Participating in a high-profile raid that leads to a character's identity being publicly exposed.

  • The Notoriety System acts as a collection of cliff notes, offering a glimpse into significant moments and probiding enough information for players to grasp the general idea of what happened during an event.
    • The system avoid spoiling every little details and leaves room for further exploration and discussion amongst characters.


Notoriety Leaderboard

  • The NOTORIETY LEADERBOARD serves as a record of character notoriety, organized by their faction affiliation.
    • Characters who are not affiliated with a faction will be listed as "Unaffiliated".

  • A typical leaderboard entry includes the following information:
